Abstract

Enterococci are normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract. However, they can also be significant pathogens causing several infections. The most common nosocomial infections caused by these organism are urinary tract infections (associated with instrumentations and antimicrobials administration) (1).The emergence of vancomycin resistance enterococci (VRE) is a global issue due to few option left for disease management. Besides drug resistant Enterococci can colonize the intestinal tract of hospitalized patients and become major source of infection as well as nosocomial spread (2, 3).
